I don't know how many times I've heard people say… I wish I could travel but I just don't have the cash… and then go to the bar and order a round of £ 4 Beers!

And then on the flip side it's amazing how many Travelers I've met on the road that've reached a breaking point and decided then and there that EVEN without money they'd still go travel.

This usually means that they sold all their stuff and saved up just enough in order to buy their plane ticket, sign up to a TEFL course and then immediately start teaching English as a foreign language.

If you really want to do it, then getting out there really is as simple as that.

And with an English as a foreign language qualification these guys were able to travel all over South East Asia while earning good money!

But if you want to save up a bit of money before you take the plunge you don't have to work all night and all day and never go out.

There are really simple things that you can do to save yourself for your travels or holidays that don't involve you sacrificing anything.

It's actually exactly the same way that I save money while I travel on the road.

Basically… I just cut out all the little things that I don't really need.

For example if you cut out that one crisp packet, that one bar of chocolate, that one beer in the evening you can save around £ 20 a week - which is one full day and night in SE Asia AND it's really healthy for you to cut out all that junk.

So not only do you save money but you're also healthier for it!

The easiest way to save is honestly cutting out the little things that can save you £ 10, £ 20, £ 40 pounds every week.

And with a SE Asian travel budget of £ 20 your potential travel time adds up fast!

There's a really cool animated website that sums up exactly how cutting out the little things really does add up - which you can find here.

Another thing you can do is limit the number of times you got out to eat or drink every week. Instead of going out twice a week just cut it back to once.

It's amazing how much money you can spend in England on a night out.

One night out in a nice London restaurant is like one week's worth of travel.

ONE WEEK'S WORTH OF TRAVEL !!!!

There's no way you can tell me you'd prefer eating one meal over one whole week on a beautiful Thai island… and keep a straight face.

So whether you are going to try and save up a little before you travel or whether you're just going to go for it… remember it's really not as difficult as many people make out. You've just got to really want it.
